5"We rushed here as soon as we got your text!" Kylie rushes inside as soon as I opened the door for them.I laugh. "It's good to see you too." I say as I closed the main door then walked with them to my bed."How'd it go?" Jonah asks."Not what I expected it but good." I answer her while I finish my earring."Deets. Now." Kylie stares at me.I walked closer to my bed and I was torn on what I should wear. My towel was wrapped around me and my hair was still undone."Help me on what to wear." I tell them."Holy shit! Did he ask you out for a date?! Right away?!" Kylie worried."Girl at least be hard to get." Kylie smacks my arm."What?" I gaped. "No he didn't.""Then what's all of this?" Jonah arches her eyebrow at me."He gave me a chance to interview him again. The first time was only ten minutes. So he told me to me come back to his office again today by three. That's why I need to make a good impression because the first one totally sucked." I tell them while I picked up two blouse
6I pull out my phone and scanned through the questions I've readied weeks ago. I take my recorder out and placed it on the table. I try not to scatter my things and stop my hands from shaking so he won't notice me being nervous."I have a lot of things to ask, and I hope an hour would be enough." I smiled at him.He half smiled at me. "Let's start.""So, my main interest is, how do you maintain such success? With everything you own, Styles Enterprises doesn't just focus in one field. It's ground is vast in all aspects of business. All sorts..."He shifts on his chair with a huge hand covering his face. Wait. Is he hiding a smile? Holy. Did his chest just move a little? Oh my god he's laughing at me. He's obviously laughing at me."Uhhhh what's so funny?" I can't help but ask him.He licks his lips while he pulled his hand away from his face. "You." He answered.I arches an eyebrow at him, "Me? And why? Did I say something funny?""A while ago, you were dressed... Funny. And now... Yo
7Fuck, I should've never asked that question. I feel my hands getting clammy all of a sudden when I don't even have clammy hands and my armpit feels like sweating underneath this blazer. Damn it.I pull my shit together as I look at him and his eyes makes me lose it. His eyes can't let me focus. His answer still bothers me but I have to act like he's not making me blush from my cheeks up to ears. God, can Benedict see me getting red from where he's sitting?I gulped.Act professional Thea. I scolded myself."How do you..." I paused then clear my throat, I feel like the need of having small placards on my hand to keep myself busy with it but I'm not holding anything but my stupid phone.I look up to him and his grinning as he placed that forefinger under his nostrils."How do... Ummm... you.... chill out... after a busy schedule or... Uhhh... after a tiring day?" I stammer on my words.He smile. "I've already answered that.""Right." I shyly speak.Oh geez he's making me blush even mo
8I stare at my laptop and I'm almost half way through finishing my article. For some reason, my mind couldn't stop thinking about that curly man named Benedict Styles and how mesmerizing and striking he is. He has this huge impact on an individual just by being himself and that's crazy. Even the thoughts of him still send shivers down my spine.Though he's not with me anymore, I feel like he's still here. I know it's plain stupid. But I still feel his green eyes looking at me from the corners of the room, like he's observing me from afar. And the things that happened inside his office a while ago are still stuck in my head.Focus Thea, you need to focus on the article not the person about the article.But on the bright side, I'm glad that tomorrow's Sunday, I have another day to finalize and edit my article before I could finally pass the finished full story about Benedict Styles to my boss.Argh, even his name gives me thrills.A part of me would be extremely happy if my article wou
9"Hey man." PJ greeted him and they began to shake hands as a greeting.My world literally stopped when Benedict was shaking hands with PJ. Shit they know each other. Shit he's friends with Benedict. Shit he might think that I'm stalking him. Shit?But Benedict kept his eyes on me after shaking hands with PJ and asking him what took him so long. He sat down on the couch just on the spot right across me. He blinks, and I swear to God he was blinking really slow, while he kept glaring at Khaleel and PJ who I assume are his friends"Why do you know each other?" PJ asked while he points at me and then at Benedict.Khaleel smirks in the corner. "We always know that Ben always gets the beautiful women first."Benedict chuckles. "It's not like that lads." He turned his face back at me. "Is this for the article again miss Thibault?"I slightly gaped and shake my head quickly."Wait. Article? What's that supposed to mean?" PJ looked puzzled when he asked."Is she some kind of a reporter? A p
10The motorbike begins to slow down as I opened my eyes I noticed that we were parked right in front of a skyscraper. I looked up and wasn't really familiar with this building or this street or maybe it was just too dark. The engine begins to fade and Sebastian looks at me over his shoulder."You can let go now." He instructs as he glares at my arms still wrapped tight around his body and my cheeks were still pressed against his back.Shit."Sorry." I quickly pulled myself away shyly.I got off his motorbike with a little help from him and he gets off next. I look up at the tall building and I couldn't tell how floors this building had."My helmet?" He calls out."Oh. Right. Sorry." I quickly tried to take it off but it seemed stuck. "Shit it's stuck."He chuckles and stands right across me a little too close making me dizzy with his perfume. He smells too good that he makes me wanna dump my nose on his chest."There's a button." He says and it clicks. "Before you take it off."I pre
11I laughed humorlessly. "You cheated. I obviously would have won if you didn't cheat."He smirks. "That's what losers always say that winners cheat."I laugh. "But hey, I really had fun." I say to him as we head back to the front door of the building.Sebastian smiled and said, "Me too Thea.""And you still owe me $10 for cursing a lot a while ago." He adds.I laughed softly. "You are really a cheater. But fine, since I am a fair player. I will pay you that."He nods. "And you owe me pizza too. You lost the bet a while ago."I face palm and just laughed while shaking my head. "Damn. I owe you a lot tonight."We bid goodbye to the security guards who were so cool about what we just did and then we got back to his motorbike. I look up to the sky and noticed that we have been playing golf for hours since the sun is about to shine. We haven't even had any sleep at all and this night was just spectacular. It was less worrisome and just plain simple. I had a great time with Sebastian even
12"I love it Thea!"Victoria exclaimed the perfect words that made my monday morning even more beautiful. It already made the start of my entire week amazing. I am looking forward for more working days with Lure and with Victoria."I don't know how you've done it but you've surpassed my expectations of you. You did it."I smile at her compliments as she goes on about praising me. Yes, go on praise me. None of your workers had ever had a one on one interview with Benedict Styles. You should be thankful thay I applied here. Yes Victoria keep those words coming. I love it too. Thank you, you're too kind."I will have this published on the next issue for sure. People will surely buy this." She adds."I just want to ask one thing?" I chimed."Anything for you." She smiles."I don't want anyone to change anything that I've written down on it. No add ons or cut outs. I really would want it to be published how I wrote it Mrs. Victoria. Mr. Styles trusted me to interview him and I would reall
